Ya, We Know

 

Hey we all know the feeling,

When our minds start a-reeling

When the dark clouds start to roll,

Horrors of the war done took its toll

Don’t matter if we’re asleep or awake,

We can’t escape that lonely headache

Never having a chance to undo what’s been done,

The Lord took us all one by one

 

All the wrongs we seen happening,

Left our lives twisted and collapsing

Now we carry the remains of our past,

Till we die it’s going to last

Closing our eyes don’t help a thing,

Tears that hide still burn and sting

Hands on our ears don’t stop the screams,

Of the roaring in all our shattered dreams

 

No bringing back the brothers we all lost,

No reason good enough to justify the cost

Their kinfolks can’t make sense of it all,

Why the Lord didn’t choose us when he made the call

He just went and took our very best,

Made us lay them all down for a final rest

We’ve been left here to do a job,

Making sure their memories are never robbed.
